TLDR
Bamon deficiency of forest trees occurs in many countries, notably in exotic plantations of eucalyptus and pines, but also in plantations and natural stands of native species on soils altered by macronutrient fertilization, fire or erosion.About:

Nutrient uptake in mycorrhizal symbiosis
Horst Marschner,Bernard Dell +1 more
TL;DR: Basic research, including the quantification of nutrient uptake and transport by fungal hyphae in soil and regulation at the fungal-plant interface, is essential to support the selection and utilization of mycorrhizal fungi on a commercial scale.

Silvicultural effects on the productivity and wood quality of eucalypt plantations
José Leonardo de Moraes Gonçalves,José Luiz Stape,Jean-Paul Laclau,Philip J. Smethurst,José Luis Gava +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review examines some of these silvicultural practices for eucalypt plantations, including soil cultivation, residue management, fertiliser, weed control, irrigation, coppice management, thinning and pruning.

Assessing the effects of early silvicultural management on long-term site productivity of fast-growing eucalypt plantations: the Brazilian experience
José Leonardo de Moraes Gonçalves,José Luiz Stape,Jean-Paul Laclau,J.-P. Bouillet,Jacques Ranger +4 more
TL;DR: The productivity restrictions are related to the following environmental factors, in order of importance: water deficits > nutrient deficiency > soil depth and strength as mentioned in this paper, where clonal forests have been fundamental in sites with larger water and nutrient restrictions, where they outperform those established from traditional seed-based planting stock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boron in forest trees and forest ecosystems.
TL;DR: This review critically examines the role of boron (B) in forests in view of recent findings on B nutrition and the continuing occurrence of B deficiency, and suggests that there is a continuum rather than a strict division to B-retranslocating and non-retranlocating species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis and prediction of boron deficiency for plant production
TL;DR: Soil and plant analysis are probably more useful when used to predict the likelihood of B deficiency, and standards established for pollen viability and vigour, seed viability, seed or fruit quality, root, stem or tuber quality or lignification of wood could be used more often for B deficiency.

Evidence on the indispensable nature of zinc and boron for higher green plants.
A L Sommer,Chas. B. Lipman +1 more
TL;DR: Fresh impetus for the study of this problem was not forthcoming until methods of work became much improved, and certain experiments indicated that some other chemical elements than those on the "preferred" list could improve the growth of plants and serve as "stimulants," and, further, until certain brilliant discoveries in animal physiology introduced the concept of the hormone and the vitamine into philosophy and theory of general physiology.

Soil nutrient availability
Dan Binkley,Peter Vitousek +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the conceptual basis for measuring nutrient availability and describe the strengths and limitations of some of the methods for assessing nonagricultural soils, and also discuss methods for characterizing soil acidity, salinity and redox potential.
